White House senior adviser Jared Trump has made more requests for classified intelligence information than almost any other member of White House staff, despite not having a final security clearance, The Washington Post reports.

Kushner’s requests for information are surpassed only by staffers on the National Security Council, a source familiar with the matter was quoted as saying. Kushner—whose background investigation has hit several snags and is still ongoing more than a year after he joined the Trump administration—is one of dozens of staffers operating with an interim security clearance.
